Tigers AND Red Wings win!!!!!!!!!!

The Tigers seem to be playing a lot better, though starting pitching seems to be pretty suspect (even Bonderman was struggling today). They actually swept a series against the Texas Rangers. We are no longer in last place in the AL!!!! YAY!!!!

And the Red Wings won the first game of their second round playoff series against our arch rivals, the Colorado Avalanche. Winning against the Avs is always sweet as cherry cheesecake.

All of the Tigers fans I know are furious at Joel Zumaya right now. So here is this young pitcher who is supposedly rehabbing from major shoulder surgery - and he is stupid and reckless and irresponsible enough to do some keg stands. That means he was hand standing on top of a beer keg guzzling beer. While binge drinking is dangerous, no one is furious about the beer. Everyone is angry enough to spit nails that this freaking idiot is supporting his considerable weight (and he's not a scrawny guy in any way) on his arms and shoulders. The pictures are all over the internet right now - and the tats on his arms have changed since spring training, so it is pretty clear that these are really fresh pictures. Zumaya is a moron! What a way to rehab your shoulder, dumbass!

This on top of driving from San Diego, California to Lakeland, Florida with his younger brother and their grandmother in 24 hours. Yeah, do the math!

This guy is a reckless, thoughtless, thrill seeking idiot.

I hope the Tigers wash their hands of him. No matter how many chances they give him, it's obvious that he is not mature enough to control himself, and that he will continue to harm himself through freak accidents.

And yes, he's young - but not that much younger than Verlander or Bonderman, who both act much more responsibly and professionally.

No excuses.
